BigBeatNut Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Lovely .... one more string and it would be perfect Quote
canarybass Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1373984737' post='2143841'] I dunno. It does sound nice - it was this fact, coupled with the big fat chunky neck (and the lesser spotted Scottish summer) that made me think "ah, go on!" The pickup is more Gretsch-y than Ricky IMO - Fender's take on a TV Jones Thundertron, I presume. [/quote] I really like the look of these! Does it sound like a traditional precision? Quote

[/quote] I wouldn't know, I've never spent much time with one. Logically I'd have to say "I hope not" lest we all come to the conclusion that all this pickup swapping is a load of snake oil Quote

DolganoFF Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Lots of great basses in this thread! Makes me want another black bass again The ones I had in the past (don't own any of these anymore): Jolana Galaxy (cheap but well built Checkoslovakian- made shortscale from the 80-s) [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dolganoff/3176173873/"][/url] Musicman Stingray V [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dolganoff/2455841959/"][/url] Squier Jazz Deluxe V [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dolganoff/5742931765/"][/url] Ibanez Gary Willis sig GWB-35 [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dolganoff/5503350002/"][/url] "PBuzz" - parts bass I've built from a Hohner fretless neck and aftermarket ash body I've painted black. [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dolganoff/8619523581/"][/url] My next black bass will be a fretless maple-necked Precision for sure Quote
